China Glaze Peppermint Cuticle Oil

12.07.2010

As apart of the Tis The Season to be Naughty and Nice winter 2010 collection, China Glaze also came out with a Peppermint Cuticle Oil available in a full sized frosted glass bottle (0.5 Fl oz) and a mini clear glass bottle (0.375 Fl oz). The full sized bottle was available in the Merry Mint Set whereas the mini bottles I found at Sally's Beauty Supply for around $3.99

Here is my rarely seen, right hand. You can see that my cuticles are a bit of a mess (this picture is about a month old as it is).

Back to my left hand - I just liberally painted the cuticles with the oil. The oil makes the bottle brush a little stiffer than normal. As you can see, the oil has seeped under my ring nail especially but it didn't dye my nail red, it just looks redder.

Then I just massaged my nails with the oil so that it was all rubbed in. The smell is great - not terribly sweet like I was afraid of. I normally don't like the smell of peppermint but this was just the right of fragrance and far enough away from my nose being on my hands, unlike a piece of gum or hard candy.

I have not seen the oil online with TransDesign or Head2ToeBeauty but it may be sold out. It is still selling on Sally Beauty Supply here. I can't wait until the holidays are over and I'm going to see if I can stock up on this stuff on sale like I did with the Matte Magic mini bottles.
